No...really

Much ado over nothing. A.) I say no to any "long term" psychological damage. Not from just this, anyway. B.) She had her parent standing out there with her. That alone speaks volumes to me. C.) Maybe, just maybe, a little humiliation is what's needed to crack through to the kid. D.) It seems to have netted some positive results, in so far as behavior modification.

Overall...two BOR thumbs way up.
